The following is a list of landowners in Henry County around 1800. This
list was extracted from a Twelfth Surveyor's District list, which also
included parts of what are now Carroll, Weakley and Benton Counties. In
some cases, the land tabulated in the subject list overlapped into these
other counties, but the overlap acreage would be small.

The deeds under the control of the University of North Carolina and Cumberland
College were being held in trust to be sold through land offices. The
land had been acquired by the state of North Carolina when it was not
claimed by Revolutionary War vetrans or by their heirs.

The exact date effective date of the list is not known, but it would
have been around 1800. The landowners were not allowed to move into the
area until after the Jackson Purchase in 1818. By that time some of the
deeds had been sold to other settlers, therefore some of the men on the
list never moved to the Henry County area.

Each name in the list is followed by a number, which indicates first
the number of deeds under that name and then the total number of acres
in the deeds.

Note: [This means that Daniel
would have had 2 deeds with a total of 2,834 acres of land. However, we
have only found 2 land purchases. One, a grant from Joshua Hadley for
60 acres and one from Robert James for 10 acres. He must have had more
land because he sold 60 acres to Henry Jackson and 40 acres to Elisha
Everett.]
